Evaluative Blog Post 1 - The Beginning

     The beginning week of the Evaluative Blog saw us become comfortable with 3DS Max. To review the first week i can review that my first take on 3DS Max was a somewhat comfortable one. The Assignment itself has proved to be both narrow and widely ranged at the same time due to the constraints of only machinery use. In thinking of the scene i believe i will have to look more into a flowing storyline and find a way not to use a character in the small plot of the eventual animation. My current research appears to circle around the original films and the game The Force Unleashed - especially the cutscene where the main character uses the force to take down a Star Destroyer seen here.
     Regarding the program itself, i have yet to download it due to some troubles i am having, my plan is to talk to my tutor about it if it pursues. In the practical use of 3DS Max, i find myself comfortable with the program, finding it to be similar to the program Google Sketchup which i used in a module in the previous year.
To conclude the evaluation of the first week, i believe i found myself excited with the prospect of the assignment, yet still slightly worried about being too ambitious. Overall i believe time and using the program will later envelop my boundaries and level of skill with the Modelling Program.
